Apollo11 Advent Calendar
This year celebrates the 40th anniversary of the lunar landings when the NASA Apollo 11 mission put the first man on the moon in 1969.
We recommend this app for anyone who loves space and the lunar landings.
Each day in December, you can open a door to a different image and interesting fact about the famous lunar landing.
* Did you know that only 11 minutes after launch the spacecraft had travelled a distance of 158,000 km?
* Did you know that Michael Collins stayed in the Command Module that remained in orbit above the Moon, and only the Lunar Module landed on the surface?
* Did you know the astronauts only stayed on the moon for 2 hours and 32 minutes
This app has amazing NASA images and facts that trace the mission from launch, to walking on the moon, back to the splash down near Hawaii.
You have to be patient, because you can only open one door each day in December.
There is a surprise on Christmas Eve!
